Why Should You Landscape?

Landscaping can have many benefits that most people do not consider. These hidden benefits can be useful for both individuals and larger companies. Well-done landscaping can give any area a professional and unique look. This look is highly sought after and will provide additional benefits for both the owner and for the environment.

Benefits for the Owner

• Adds up to 20 percent to a home’s value, increasing property values.
• Landscape is the only home improvement that increases in value as it matures.
• Landscaping can have a recovery value of 100 to 200 percent when you sell your home.
• Helps to sell your home faster.
• Helps reduce air conditioning costs by up to 50 percent (Ex. Shading a/c unit or windows with a tree or shrub).
• Landscaping can reduce noise by up to 50 percent.
• Most importantly, landscape can add comfort and enjoyment.

Benefits for the Environment

• Plants control runoff, slowing erosion and allowing water to be absorbed by the soil and the aquifers.
• A tree removes carbon dioxide from the air and releases enough oxygen for a family of four to breathe for a day.
• Plants provide essential habitat for wildlife.
• Landscape helps cool & purify the air.
